This replaces your old Fogatti tankless hot water heater and has higher Btus for more effectively heating cold water. Heats 2.9 gallons per minute, which is higher than the flow rate for most RV shower heads and faucets.

Fogatti's tankless hot water heaters are popular for being efficient and quality options, but which model would be best for you? Let me give you a quick summary:
Fogatti 7: Lower Btus and lower flow rate compared to the 8s. This can be a good pick, though, because that means you're using less propane to heat water. If you aren't trying to heat very cold water, and you don't expect that anyone else is going to be using hot water while you're in the shower, then this will be a perfectly fine option, especially if you use low-flow fixtures for conserving water. I'd recommend it for solo campers or couples who almost never camp in cold months.
Fogatti 8 Plus: Higher Btus and flow rate while being the same size as the 7. You'll get slightly better performance, and it will be more effective at heating colder water. The extra flow rate won't necessarily allow you to run both a faucet and a shower at the same time without noticing a difference, since both fixtures can use 2.5 gallons per minute. But if you have a higher-flow shower head, this can keep up better. I'd recommend it if you're likely to camp when it gets chilly overnight and want a little extra performance.
Fogatti 8 Pro: This is the same as the 8 Plus, with the addition of a water mixing tank. This tank adds a few more inches to its depth, but that generally won't be much of an issue, especially if you're replacing a water heater with a tank. I'd recommend it if any variance in water temperature is going to really annoy you.

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a brief look together at this Fogatti replacement InstaShower Eight Plus Tankless Water Heater. Now, if you we inchesre wondering about the differences between the Seven InstaShower, Eight Plus, and Eight Pro from Fogatti, we do have pretty good summaries written on the lower portion of this product page. So take a look at those summaries for each of those water heaters. Make sure you are getting the replacement that you are needing. But this replacement is going to replace your old Fogatti Hot Water Heater Eight Plus.
This has 55,000 BTUs, which is going to heat 2.9 gallons per minute, which is greater than the average water flow of an RV shower. The efficient propane burner is going to heat water only when you use your faucets or shower, and the higher BTUs are gonna make this a great choice in cold weather for using a lot of hot water at once. The pilot ignition type is automatic. This does include this wall controller that has a digital display that's going to let you adjust the temperature and show diagnostic error codes. The temperature settings are from 95 degrees to 123 degrees Fahrenheit.
The water pressure is 14 and a half to 116 PSI and the preferred pressure is gonna be 40 to 45 PSI. The internal safety components are gonna protect you, your family, and your RV. For instance, this is going to automatically cut off gas if the flame goes out to prevent leaks in your RV. Just going over some basic measurements with you, looking at the width and the height, they are both right at about 13 inches. And then the overall depth, gonna be about 13 and 13/16ths inches deep.
This is going to be a relatively simple installation, rather, with the included hardware. And you're gonna get receive instructions to guide you through the installation process. You are going to use your existing lines and cutout, and additional cutout depth is gonna be needed to make those connections. Well, I think that's going to wrap up our quick look today. I do hope that our time together was helpful for you.
Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me.
Works perfectly takes about 10 seconds to get heat but after that you have continuous hot water in a trailer that normally runs out fairly quickly it's good when you're hooked up to continuous water I could see it being a little wasteful if you're running on your tank but still very practical and good
I installed Wednesday right before a weekend camping trip. Thursday night I got through 1/2 of a shower and it through an error code with cold water. I contacted Fogatti and spoke with a technician who had such a thick , foreign dialect I couldn’t understand. I asked for an english speaking supervisor who I was told would contact me back. But didn’t. I contacted Etrailer and technician there gave me suggestions to try and I was to contact her back if it still didn’t help. I left a message and still have not heard back. We had to resort to using the campground public shower house each night to get through the weekend. Along with boiling water on stove to wash our dishes. Not satisfied.

Sometimes my shower at home takes longer than 10 seconds to heat up, I'm jealous!
